Seattle Jewish Film Festival March
5-19 - This year marks the 11th year of the Seattle Jewish Film Festival, and they have a fantastic lineup. This
year's fest runs at three venues: Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), AMC Pacific Place, and Majestic Bay
Theaters in Ballard. The festival really kicks into high gear this week, with an interesting lineup of films:

March 11 - The opening night film is Live and Become, which you can have with dessert at the 7PM showing
(for passholders special ticket holders only), or without at 9:50PM. The film, which won the audience award at the
2005 Berlinale, tells the story of a young Ethiopian boy in the 1980s whose mother places him with a group of
Ethiopian Jewish refugees to save him from the famine. As he grows from a boy into a man under his assumed identity,
the lie under which he has lived begins to take its toll.
